Emoticons I know very little about emoticons as I seldom use it for text message . Whenever I saw those emoticons in the message, I don’t understand what is he/she trying to say or express. I’m so embarrassed sometimes. Apparently western emoticons and eastern emoticons are so much different until I checked this out from website. By putting emoticons on messages or chats can help to express one’s emotion or feeling. I totally agree with it. Just the text alone often causes misunderstanding and misinterpretation . Eg: You’re such a jerk :D ( can u see the difference situation without the :D)

haha you know Japanese use ^^ instead of :) or :D, someone says this represents the fact that Japanese move only their eyes when they smile. on the contrary Westerners mainly move their mouths. I don't know whether it is true though. =)
